Vinicius Junior achieved a special milestone in the history of the UEFA Champions League this week.
İdman.Biz reports that this was made possible thanks to the Brazilian footballer's performances in Real Madrid's latest match.
The team faced Manchester City in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 and won 2-1, securing an overall advantage of 5-1.
Vinicius Junior was the standout player in the match. The 25-year-old forward opened the scoring with a penalty in the first half, and scored a double with a volley (a shot taken in the air before the ball bounces) with his left foot in the final moments of the match.
With this result, Vinicius Junior is now ahead of Luis Suarez and Wayne Rooney in terms of doubles in the UEFA Champions League – the Brazilian footballer is reported to have 7 doubles so far, while his rivals have 6.
